The CSS styling may look something like this: div#content h2.entry-title + p:first-letter { font-size: 4.2em; float: left; display: in-line; text-transform: uppercase; } The positioning of the versal is entirely up to you. You can place it as you like using line-height and margin properties, and have the text wrap around the versal using the float; if you want the versal to sit aside from the text and avoid wrapping don’t set the float.
